Male‐specific alleles in the Ryukyu drywood termite Neotermes sugioi [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Sex‐determination systems often show remarkable diversity in upstream signals, although downstream genes are broadly conserved. Therefore, the downstream genes have been investigated in various taxa, but the most upstream signals determining sex in ...

Nesting ecology and cuticular microbial loads in dampwood (Zootermopsis angusticollis) and drywood termites (Incisitermes minor, I. schwarzi, Cryptotermes cavifrons) [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2003 Termites form one-piece nests in wood that can vary in their moisture content and degree of decomposition, and thus microbial richness. To estimate the microbial load of nests and the potential risk they pose for colony members, we quantified the number ...

Seasonal and Daily Patterns in Activity of the Western Drywood Termite, Incisitermes minor (Hagen) [PDF]
Insects, 2011 Activity of colonies of the western drywood termite, Incisitermes minor, was measured with acoustic emission (AE) technology in five loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) logs. Termite activity, whether it was feeding, excavation or movement, was monitored for 11

A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Cryptotermes brevis West Indian drywood termite (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Cryptotermes brevis is one of the most destructive invasive termites in the subtropics and tropics and is a common biosecurity intercept at the Australian border. Drywood termite species are cryptic and difficult to identify morphologically in situations

Western Drywood Termite, Incisitermes minor (Hagen) (Insecta: Isoptera: Kalotermitidae)
EDIS, 2005 The western drywood termite, Incisitermes minor (Hagen), is the most common structure-infesting drywood termite in the southwestern United States. Originally described as Kalotermes minor by Hagen (1858), I.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 9, Page 875-877, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Cryptotermes brevis (Walker, 1853) (Kalotermitidae), commonly called the West Indian drywood termite, is an important structural pest in many parts of the world. Almost all records of C. brevis come from timber or furniture inside human structures.

Key Elements Affecting the Library’s CFU Concentration in Taiwan
Complexity, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Public libraries are popular gathering places, so understanding the factors that contribute to colony‐forming unit (CFU) concentrations and how to minimize them is essential. This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect CFU concentrations in a public library, using air sampling (Bioluminescent ATP‐assay) and statistical analysis software ...

Around the world in 500 years: Inter‐regional spread of alien species over recent centuries
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 30, Issue 8, Page 1621-1632, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim The number of alien species has been increasing for centuries world‐wide, but temporal changes in the dynamics of their inter‐regional spread remain unclear. Here, we analyse changes in the rate and extent of inter‐regional spread of alien species over time and how these dynamics vary among major taxonomic groups. Location Global.
